Many couples prefer warmer months, especially those who prefer outdoor ceremonies. But have you considered the charms of a wedding in the winter months? Winter weddings can be beautiful and unique, going beyond the conventional wedding choices. This Royal Reads Blog notes several great reasons to consider a winter wedding, though we’re sure there are more than what we’ll discuss. Let’s explore the enchantment of a winter wonderland wedding!
Let’s start with the gorgeous backdrops of winter. The natural setting of softly falling snow creates a picturesque scene that is both romantic and photo-worthy. The cozy ambiance during the ceremony and reception can also be fun for all attendees. Couples love creating a warm, intimate atmosphere where guests can mingle and celebrate comfortably.
This season also offers a range of themes from Christmas to New Year’s Eve, providing a festive spirit that can be incorporated into the wedding decor, guest gifts, and more.
In addition to the landscapes, the fashion of a winter wedding is absolutely stunning, especially the bridal gowns! The cooler weather allows for elegant sleeve options and luxurious fabrics. Grooms and groomsmen, even bridesmaids, can opt for heavier fabric and textured suits that will be both stylish and practical. Also, the accessories! Faux stoles, velvet shoes, sparkly jewelry– all of these combined with that beautiful snowy backdrop will make for the most majestic event.
Another great advantage is actually the fact that winter weddings are not typical, which can lead to great off-peak discounts from vendors and venues as well as booking availability. These discounted rates are also valid for honeymoon destinations during the winter months. Whether you want to enjoy snowy landscapes like Aspen or the Alps or go tropical, making travel plans is much simpler and cheaper for newlyweds this time of year.
To add to the cozy vibe, winter weddings can have amazingly romantic and elegant lighting options like fireplaces and candles. Twinkling lights also make for a magical snowy evening for guests and add to the ambiance of winter wedding magic. Remember food! Winter menus offer heartier comfort food options that will satisfy everyone. The seasonal flavors can also add a touch of uniqueness to your wedding dinner and cocktail menu that you’ll never forget for years to come.
